vRealize Operations Manager 6.X node types

vROps
6.0 contains a common node architecture for all platforms which include Windows, Linux (RHEL) or appliance. We have four deployment nodes as listed below.

Master Node

Master Replica Node

Data Node

Remote collector Node

You must select a role when you try to
add node into the cluster.

Master / Master replica node:

The
master or master replica node is required for availability of the Operations Manager
cluster. It includes all vROps 6.0 services i.e. UI, Controller, Analytic,
Collector, and Persistence.

This
role also includes the services that are not replicated across all nodes in the
cluster. These services are as below.

•
Global xDB

• NTP server

• Gem Fire locator

Data node:

It provides
the core functionality of collecting and processing data and data queries. It
also extends the vROps cluster as a member of the GemFire Federation. A data
node is almost identical to a master/master replica node except that it does not contain
Global xDB, NTP server, and GemFire locator.

Remote collector node:

The
remote collector role is a standalone collector for remote. Remote collectors
do not process data themselves; instead, they simply forward data to data nodes
for analytics processing. Remote collector nodes do not run core vROps
components like:

• The
Product UI

•
Controller

•
Analytics

•
Persistence

Remote
collectors are not members of the GemFire Federation as they do not run any of
vROps core components.
